I want to know the details (duration, fees, course content or at least
the contact information) of glass blowing classes offered in NJ/NY
area. I have done some research and found some classes in NY but I
want to get a more thorough listing. I am more interested in finding
out about classes in manalapan/englishtown/freehold or other nearby
areas in NJ but please provide details of other classes in NJ/NY city
area too. Also, I would very much appreciate a quick answer.

This place is way down south (in NJ, that is), but you may want to contact them:

I think they would be likely to know what other resources are
available the NJ area for glassblowing classes.

Clarification of Question by singhj-ga on 14 Aug 2005 23:00 PDT

Thanks for the information. I came across this link myself and will
contact them. I did some basic search myself. Can you please do some
more search and let me know if there are any more resources on web
which I might have overlooked. I am not very interested in the
glassblowing degree programs. I am looking more for short term
glassblowing courses in NJ appropriate for a hobbyist.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
further clarification on this answer before you rate it. My search
strategy:
I searched for "glass-blowing" (courses OR classes), near your area,
on Google Local search engine.
I also done a simple search, entering the state's name, on the general Google index.

Satisfactory answer for the price.
